he is a self avowed socialist.
It has to be said - if you had taken Hillary's public stances from when she was First Lady and placed them all next to a blank box, she'd have the Republican nomination locked up today.
How she makes it through the primaries with any competition will solely be because she's a woman, and liberals believe it is about time we have a madam president.
Get ready for a Sanders-Warren ticket. And the DNC will try to paint them as regular, middle class, common sense, middle of the road Americans who can appeal to everyone. That will be the deception.
He’s running as a Democrat. (His proclaimed socialism will be no big deal in the Dem primaries. But he still has to work for any results he gets. It has a lot to do with his ability to raise funds.)
Technically sanders doesn’t qualify to run as a demoncrat because he is officially registered as an independent. I’m sure their rules committee must be looking at this at the hildabeast’s insistence.
“You cannot prove that Hillary has ovaries.”
Who would want to get that close to find out?
I welcome Bernie Sanders’ run. It will prevent Democrats from voting in Republican open primaries.
And I’d love to see Ted Cruz make mush out of Bernie’s ideology, both in ads and the debates.
Of course, if Jeb Bush is the nominee, that’s another story.
I suppose he has a lot of time to switch his registration.
I agree. The 18 - 35 year olds voting in the Democratic primaries will see Hillary Clinton as a rich old white woman with credibility issues. They may agree with much of what Bernie Sanders has to say, but still see him as too old to be president. Martin O'Malley is youthful enough in appearance (especially when standing on the same stage as Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders ) and far left enough to attract the millenials and other Democrats.
He claims to be running as a dim. I don”t know how he plans on doing this. I’m sure the dim rules committee would block his running as a dim unless he is one of ‘em.
She will have to turn left. There is a strong current that is foaming to vote for Bernie and Warren.
Probably not much of a problem at all.
He's pretty old.
It should be no problem making his death look like an accident or a heart attack or something...
This ought to be fun.
Go Bernie! Go Martin!
If Hillary has to participate in any Democrat primary debates, she will be much more vulnerable. She will have to do a lot of unscripted talking, defending, and parrying, in high-pressure situations she does not do well in.
It’s a trap!
Agreed. I generally don’t watch the dem’s primary debate but I will be watching anything that makes the Mother-Goddess of All Creation look like a fool.
If Hillary has more than one primary opponent, she will not benefit from being in a crowd scene, either. She will look old and beatable.
Bernie will be stealing the Jebster’s thunder.
That election was also the first mayoral contest after the courts decided college students could vote where they attended school, which allowed Sanders to win. Burlington had almost as many students as residents at that time. I remember seeing this dirty Brooklyn hippy in the park.
